About DRCS

A personal approach to mental healthcare — serving Derbyshire since 1989.

Our Story

From rural roots to county-wide care

DRCS was founded in 1989, originally providing counselling for agricultural workers in Derbyshire during the foot-and-mouth disease crisis — a time of devastating financial loss and emotional strain.

Since then, we've grown to serve all of Derbyshire and beyond, helping children, young people, adults, and organisations every year.

Our team of qualified, experienced therapists offers evidence-based therapies — face to face, online, and by telephone.
